I've said a few times that this contract job is overwhelmingly stressful and i have repeatedly been a few minutes tardy, yet i've worked 2 months further than expected. How likely will they offer me permanent work if i ask to stay after saying I want to leave?

Don’t forget the company is on probation with you. I was offered a permanent position once the contract was up. I declined and left on good terms. I’m glad I left and moved onto a better job.

They've already said they want you to come on permanent but I'm curious as to why you now want to say yes to a job you have previously declined and that you consider "overwhelmingly stressful".

It was very stressful when I was learning the process. I've never done this before, and now 1 part of system allows me to proceed without my waiting for the lead to proceed with their part. I've also chosen to speak/write w/o !'s. I'm more mindful of pausing before considering a response.
